LUCA Talk 1: Using Big Data to understand mobility and pollution

Last Monday we hosted our very first LUCA webinar with great success, with more than 140 people connecting to our live stream.

Technology, and more specifically Big Data, is enabling us to simplify the way we manage cities and in our talk we aimed to show a concrete example of this - demonstrating the full potential of such solutions. This is especially relevant in light of recent controversy around pollution in cities such as Paris and Madrid.

LUCA is fully committed to capturing the full potential of data to contribute to society, and this webinar was just one of our examples. Our Data Scientist, Javier Carro, shared with us how we can use our Smart Steps product alongside Open Data to understand mobility in cities (Madrid and Barcelona) and its impact on pollution.
